wearable pieces as kinetic sculpture

And then there is the red hand-stitched string holding it together

Great sitting atop a pile of papers

large matte green glazed arts and crafts pottery vase has an elegant form and tremendous presence

I purchased this piece from an estate in Boston that included a wonderful mix of interesting antique and mid-century objects collected through travels around the world

Vintage 1940s Lucky Strikes Tin with Custom Copper Cover hand thrown vase wearable pieces as kinetic sculptureAnother wonderful box! This is an old Lucky Strikes cigarettes tin, circa 1940s, with a beautiful custom made copper cover featuring a leaf and stem design in relief. I found one other Lucky Strikes box to which a copper cover had been added not nearly as fine as this one, but which suggests it is a thing that people did. I love that the sides of the box are left exposed, reading Lucky Strikes on the long side, and "It's Toasted" on the short sides.
